Everything You Need To Know About Egg Incubator Functions
Players inARK: Survival Evolvedcan place 10 eggs into an Egg Incubator at once and only 3 can be built in the same area.They can control the settings for each small egg chamber individually to accommodate the hatching requirements of multiple different species.
Monitoring the status of the eggs is easy, as players can peek at them through the incubator’s window to see their stats and progress without having to take them out of the Egg Incubator’s inventory. If an egg develops successfully, players will have to use the manual ejection function to release the newborn from within the egg chamber. It should also be mentioned that this same function can be used to dispose of unwanted and damaged eggs instead of making them into Kibble of some kind.

Egg Incubator Power Supply
Despite the convenience that the Egg Incubator provides, it is not guaranteed to hatch eggs successfully.This device relies on power to function, and, without a constant source, the eggs inside could be destroyed if left uncared for. How they fare will be determined by the outside conditions, as, when powered down, Egg incubators don’t do anything and act as a generic object.
Hatching Speed
Eggs placed inside an Egg Incubator that is set to the egg’s optimal temperature will increase the development of that egg by a maximum of 20%.If players plan to do a lot of breeding, this function will make things go much quicker.
